Hi there. I just tired to install an app on my pebble round from the store on the pebble app for android. This has worked in the past. Now none of the apps or watch faces have an install button. I can browse the store as before but not install any apps.

No I don’t. I do beta testing for very reliable apps, but not something that could kill dear Pebble Time. Beta is pretty scary at this point. If you can get your Pebble working, I wouldn’t try anything too courageous.

I just totally don’t understand why the rumors and leaks from the upcoming Fitbit watch won’t be a Time 2 clone. Just enhance the screen a bit, as an option and it would be the best new watch. They are having their own financial problems and with the enormous publicity of the alleged “death” of Pebble, they’d have free publicity like nobody’s ever seen! Well, there’s still, uh, time.

Thank you. But as asked in this post I cannot find a way to download it. Do you know how to download it? I can’t find a beta programme to sign up to on the Google store and the links provided above were for old versions and nothing new.

Tried that first link, but it says “Your account isn’t currently eligible for this app’s testing program.” Apparently you have to be invited into the beta program.

I’ve also got to echo RJM’s comments, the Time 2 (with a Steel wristband) and those Time Round watches are exactly what I want in a smartwatch. I have friends with Apple Watches & even a Fitbit Blaze who are jealous of my Time Steel. That Blaze update does not look appealing to me at all.

The app lets Pebble devices keep working, even if online servers are not accessible for any reason. The login process can be skipped, apps can be side-loaded, and the latest watch firmware (including language packs) can be installed.

Thank you. I just don’t think this is a good time to experiment with beta testing. I have a red PT in my amazon shopping cart, but I am only concerned about whether it is really, truly “new” and untouched, or is not really new. This is a real problem. I guess I’ll roll the dice. I wanted the little 14" strap Round, but people were reporting frequent screen breakage. It appears to be a bit too fragile.

I will see how today’s update works and then decide. I want a red and rose gold color scheme and I think Barton can do that without too much effort.

In any event, Pebbles are the best smartwatches available. I so wish they had been completely honest and asked the community for help.

One more thing. If Fitbit doesn’t capitalize on this mountain of free publicity and make a Time 2 (w/different name), they are simply stupid.
